Thats right, TMK is now 10 YEARS OLD! Unbelieveable! To celebrate this moment I have put up some fresh new content from MK vs DCU and some other MK games, It's my goal to get content up each week throughout september :)
I made a youtube video that descibes my TMK journey you can also check that out below, but just a heads up it does go for 50 mins! :D
London – August 21st 2009 London-based Midway Games Ltd. and Midway Games SAS (Paris) will from now on be operating under the names Tradewest Games Ltd. and Tradewest Games SAS.
Martin Spiess, who previously was responsible for the European publishing and distribution arm of the international game publisher Midway Games Inc. from 2005 onwards as Executive Vice President - International, recently acquired ownership of the UK and French offices of Midway Games Inc. as part of a management buyout.
During his time at Midway Spiess significantly expanded the company's European business. Most recently, Midway’s European publishing and distribution operations contributed close to 40 % of Midway’s worldwide business. Spiess is considered to be one of the most experienced managers in the European games industry.
In addition to Midway’s UK and French offices Spiess has also acquired the rights to the Tradewest brand. This is a brand representative of tradition, a name under which a well-known North American game publisher operated between 1986 and 1994. In 1994 Tradewest’s business was taken over by WMS Industries (the then-proprietor of the Midway and Williams brands) and became Williams Entertainment Inc., which was then renamed Midway Home Entertainment Inc. in 1996. Over the following thirteen years Midway, whose parent was listed on the US New York Stock Exchange, moved on to become one of the leading developers and providers of computer and video games in the world.
“We are very glad to have acquired the rights to such an internationally well-known brand of such tradition in the gaming industry”, said Martin Spiess. “Under the name Tradewest Games we will as of now be acting as a European full service provider in the fields of game distribution and publishing. We have access to a wide-reaching global network of game developers and international partners from all relevant areas of the games industry. First and foremost, however, there's a well-experienced European team behind Tradewest Games that has proven its expertise and know-how in the past years by bringing to market some of the biggest games projects in the world.’’

Longstanding Midway Europe Management Team Buys Publishing and Distribution Operations
London August 20th, 2009 Midway Games Ltd., formerly a subsidiary of Midway Games Inc., today announced that Spiess Media Holding UG, a company owned by Martin Spiess, Executive Vice President - International of Midway Games Ltd., has purchased the UK and French offices of Midway Games Inc., formerly a developer and publisher of computer and video games with a rich tradition, as part of a management buyout. F & F Publishing GmbH, a company owned by Uwe Farstenberg, General Manager of Midway Games GmbH, and Hans Meyer, Finance Director of Midway Games GmbH, has purchased the German office of the Midway group.
Through the transactions, the European publishing and distribution branches of Midway are secured in all three key European markets. Both Spiess and Farstenberg will be leading their newly acquired companies as interactive entertainment distribution and publishing service providers. Plans are also underway to form a strategic alliance and use the combined forces of the European organisations as an efficient European network.
We are very pleased that the European management team has come together to purchase Midway's European organisation, commented Matthew Booty, chairman, CEO and president of US-based Midway Games Inc. Our European publishing and distribution business had consistently grown year-on-year under the leadership of Martin Spiess. These European operations are comprised of a strong network of developers and publishers from around the globe and are based around an excellent team that has proven its expertise and know-how in game production.
The European branch of Midway had been a significant contributor to the worldwide Midway organisation. Most recently, the European arm had contributed almost 40% of Midway's worldwide revenues, said Martin Spiess. We very much look forward to the challenge of participating in the growing key European markets as a streamlined, powerful, and independent full-service videogames distribution and publishing business.ť
I thought you guys might like this one, you remember "The Immortals" first Mortal Kombat album right? You remember track 3 right... "Chinese Ninja Warrior" well a band called "Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire" has decided to cover the song, and man...they did a good job! You can check out there official facebook below, and listen to the song also below used in a youtube video with a collage of Subby pics from Comic-Con 09 :) To buy the CD "Songs From The Pit" follow thw link below.
Ed Boon has been telling fans via his twitter that several DLC characters for MK vs DCU were planned and pretty much finished, however the company believed it was to late to release them, So Ed said he would show us some pics of the unreleased characters, So far Ed has mentioned that Quan Chi and Harley Quinn were going to be released as DLC Kontent. Today Ed posted the image of Quan Chi which looks awesome, it is uncertain however if Ed will be able to post Harley Quinn as he mentioned there is alot of roundabouts to go through to post DC content, even unfinshed work as it needs to be approved. I for one have my fingers crossed because like all the other fans we want to know who has bigger breasts, Catwoman or Harley Quinn....err I mean, I would love to see what she looks like of course! :)
Yes! Today bidding for Midway Games has officially closed and while Warner Brothers expressed interest in bidding for the company apparently others to wanted to enter the bidding race, however when the bidding started it seemed that only Warner Brothers were willing to buy the Chicago based company, making that a flawless victory in my eyes. All I can say is I am glad Warner Brothers won the bid, once everything is sorted out with Vin Disel's Company Tigon Studios and Larry Kassanoff, the bid should go through fully. Congrats to Warner Brothers!
Can you believe this shit? Lawrence Kasanoff a name not heard in about 10 years has had the balls to sue Midway just before there bidding has ended for the company. Kasanoff is claiming that his company Threshold Entertainment helped to put MK characters like Scorpion and Sub-Zero on the map...yeah right, Those names exsisted before we even knew your name Larry SO BACK OFF. Anyway, as a result this may delay the selling of Midway until this mess is sorted out. read the article below:
"Mortal Kombat Film Producer Sues Midway Over IP Rights
The man who brought Mortal Kombat to the big screen has sued Midway in U.S. Bankruptcy Court over what he claims are his intellectual property interests in the franchise. The suit may interfere with a proposed $33 million sale of Midway assets to Warner Bros.
In a complaint filed yesteday, Lawrence Kasanoff, through his company, Threshold Entertainment, asked the Court to preserve his IP rights including copyrights to certain MK series characters. Kasanoff also wants to retain the right to create derivative film and television projects based on the popular fighting game franchise.
Kasanoff claims that it was he who made Mortal Kombat more than just a video game:
In 1993, Kasanoff visited Midway... with an idea to launch the Mortal Kombat concept in a totally new direction. Specifically, Kasanoff proposed to develop... a full feature-length motion picture, a television series, and other productions. Midway was initially skeptical, as Kasanoff's idea was revolutionary at the time...
The Mortal Kombat series, as it stands today, is far more a creation of Threshold and Kasanoff than of Midway. Midway's creative input was almost entirely limited to the videogames. On their own, the videogames provided only minimal back-story and mythology, and only flat, "stock" characters... Kasanoff and Threshold were responsible for virtually all of the creative input that went into turning the videogame concept into a multimedia enterprise.
In his lawsuit, Kasanoff also claims credit for making MK characters like Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Scorpion into recognizable names. The suit estimates that the franchise has grossed more than $4 billion over the years.
In petitioning the Bankruptcy Court, Kasanoff seeks to block the proposed sale of Mortal Kombat assets to Warner Bros.
DOCUMENT DUMP: Grab a copy of Kasanoff's complaint here."
Ok now that I have your attention, it seems that the MK Team plans on making the next MK gory with sickening fatalities. It all started today when Ed Boon started to talk about motion capture for the fatalities and claimed "they are kinda sick" I think this statement got the fans real excited...myself included. I have posted Ed's Twitter comments below for you guys to check out, enjoy!!
As you guys my or may not know, Ed likes to post on Twitter like me, and I was sorta surprised today to read a few tweets from Ed and another Twitter user "bawkz" bawkz had asked Ed about DLC...like the other 10 million fans, and Ed actully replied with an answer that is fairly dissapointing. But I would like to point out that this is UNOFFICAL TALK THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ANSWER FROM MIDWAY OR THE MK TEAM ABOUT DLC, but from the looks of things it is not happening. Check out the image below.
Wow, this comes as a shock. But if you are Aussie and have not picked up MK vs DCU yet here is your chance to get it at a price that is pretty much impossible to beat.The games website www.games101.com.au is selling MK vs DCU on PS3 and Xbox 360 for only $24.95...wtf have they gone mad? Normaly its $119.95!!! So if you don't have it, here is your chance. Talk about a Herotic Brutality of epic proportions!
Click the image to check it out.
This could be the very first peice of news MK9 related, however while this article looks legit it seems to give to much info out in a public domain...so I have my doubts. I will ask Midway about it and see if I can get a comment for now check it out:
Basicly, if this list is legit it hints at these characters being in MK9:
FEMALE 3 = Jade
MALE 5 = Sektor ?
MALE 8 = Nightwolf ?
MALE 9 = Cyrax
MALE 10 = Shang Tsung
MALE 11 = Kung Lao
MALE 13 = Jax

ALL ROLES ARE VOICE OVER ONLY
[ FEMALE 3 ]
Allegiance: villain Age: 1,000s of years Actor/Voice: African-American or Middle Eastern, 20s or 30s; commanding but still feminine (think Hallie Berry as Storm in the X-Men but with no accent) She is one of many warriors forced to serve the Emperor. Best friend to Female 4, daughter of the emperor, her loyalties are tested when Female 4’s allegiance to begins to wane towards the Resistance.
[ MALE 5 ]
Race: Asian, becomes a Cyborg Country of origin: unknown Allegiance: neutral Voice: low, powerful, slight accent Age: 30s Male 5 is possibly the most ruthless of the secretive assassins. A technology enthusiast, he volunteered to be the first to undergo transformation to a cyborg. His enhanced skills and hard-hearted nature make him the perfect killing machine. He now searches for rogue clan members in order to bring them back to for cyber-conversion.
[ MALE 8 ]
Race: Native American (possibly Lakota Sioux) Allegiance: hero Age: 30s-40s Voice: Smooth, low, calm Male 8 is a great Native American shaman and thus is intimately connected to the spirit world. These powers, in combination wih his superior fighting skills, make him a most trusted ally, and one of the most formidable protectors of Earth.
[ MALE 9 ]
Race: African-American Allegiance: neutral, becomes a villain Age: 20s Male 9 is a member of the secretive ninja assassins’ guild. As such, he’s loyal to whoever pays him. Unlike his fellow members, however, there are certain lines he won’t cross. His interest in the guild seems to be waning, especially after learning of their plans to convert some of their members into cyborgs.
[ MALE 10 ]
Race: sorcerer Allegiance: villain Voice: slight indeterminably Asian accent in two versions: ancient and 40s An evil sorcerer, Male 10 hosts the Mortal Kombat tournament and is the final opponent of any Earth warrior skilled enough to survive to the championship round. His command of sorcery allows him to morph into other warriors, taking on their strengths and abilities. To sustain his life, he consumes the souls of those he defeats. He begins the story as a withered old man, but later is rejuvenated.
[ MALE 11 ]
Race: Chinese Allegiance: Shaolin monks (hero) Actor: Asian male, 20s, slight undeterminably Asian accent Male 11 is a Shaolin monk. He fought for the right to represent Earthrealm in the Mortal Kombat tournament but lost to his friend and rival. Younger and less experienced than his counterpart, his skill is unquestioned. He just needs to learn how to keep his emotions and impulsiveness in check.
[ MALE 13 ]
Race: African-American Allegiance: U.S. Special Forces (hero) Age: 30s Male 13 is the commander of a secret Special Forces unit. While pursuing a black-market arms dealer, he and his subordinate are forced to participate in the Mortal Kombat tournament. They try to complete their mission in the midst of otherworldly creatures wielding fearsome magical powers. He is built like a linebacker and is proficient in cutting-edge technology. Eventually his kombat skill is increased when his arms are replaced with super-powerful cybernetic prosthetics.
From June 2-24 bidding will begin for Midway's IPs. Basicly each game is an IP (Intellectual Property) and Midway's biggest and most classic game licences are up for grabs including Mortal Kombat of course. I hope WB wins the bid...I think they could bring alot of healthy support to the company but we will just have to wait and see! Read the official press release below.

MIDWAY ANNOUNCES TIMEFRAME FOR SECTION 363 SALE PROCESS
Assets for Sale Include Four Studios, European and North American Publishing Groups,
Iconic Mortal Kombat, TNA Wrestling License, Open World Games, Casual Games, and
Full Classic IP Library
Bid Groupings Can Be Formed with Multiple Interested Parties to Compete with Stalking Horse Bid
CHICAGO – May 28, 2009 – Midway Games Inc. has established the timeline for the expected sale of Midway’s assets to the highest bidders in accordance with the sale and bid procedures motion filed with the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Midway recently announced a "stalking horse" asset purchase agreement, which is expected to receive court approval, subject to higher or better bids, in a hearing on June 2, 2009. Following this hearing, there will be a period during which Midway, through its financial advisor, Lazard, will accept binding offers up to June 24th, 2009, to acquire some or all of the Company's assets. An auction will be held on June 29th to determine the bid or combination of bids that achieves the highest value, followed by a court hearing to approve the sale to the winning bidder or bidders on July 1st, and then a final closing. All bids must comply with the bid procedures order to be issued at the hearing on June 2, 2009.
The "stalking horse" asset purchase agreement includes a significant portion of Midway's assets, however not all of the assets were included in the agreement. The bidding process allows for interested parties to bid on sets of assets including those not in the agreement, and multiple bidders can be formed into a group whose bids in the aggregate constitute a greater value than the initial stalking horse bid. Successful bidders will be buying only Midway's assets, and will not assume nor be responsible for any of the company's debt or liabilities, including any secured or unsecured notes, credit facilities, or trade obligations.
Midway's considerable intellectual property assets span some of the most successful sectors in the video game industry. Midway is well known for fighting games, with its more than $1.5 billion franchise, Mortal Kombat, as well as the video game license for the fastest-growing wrestling league, Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling. Midway's development teams are known worldwide for their expertise in fighting game mechanics, motion-capture integration, and AAA production values.
Midway also has strong capabilities in open-world games, including the highly-detailed action-adventure game currently in development, This is Vegas, and the recently released open-world driving game, Wheelman. The development barriers to entry in this genre are considerable, and Midway has an engine in place and expertise to create high-quality, expansive open-world games.
Midway has a long legacy of arcade-style casual and classic intellectual property, with 50 years of popular arcade classics such as Spy Hunter, Rampage, Joust, Paperboy, Gauntlet, and many more. This, coupled with Midway's recent blockbuster success with the three-million-plus unit selling franchise Game Party and the 1.5 million unit selling TouchMaster franchise, comprises a full line of casual and family games. There are a number of games currently in production for a wide variety of platforms including Nintendo DS/DSi and Wii, Xbox 360 Live Arcade, Apple iPhone, Sony PSP and PS3, and online.
Qualified interested parties should review the asset purchase agreement and bidding procedures filed with the court, and contact Midway or Lazard's Kayvon Bina (Kayvon.Bina@lazard.com) as soon as possible for more information on Midway's assets and how to place a bid.

On thursday Warner Brothers made an offer to Midway to own the majority of the company including it's Chicago and Seattle studios for $33 Million. Midway chose the bidder from the pool of biders, does this mean that Warner own Midway / MK yet? No. There is more bidding processes to go through but hopefully Warner will indeed own Midway and most of it's IP in the near future personally I think it would be GREAT for Warner to own Midway. You can read the official press release from Midway below...warning industry jargon ahead!!

Warner Bros. Entertainment Emerges as "Stalking Horse" Bidder
CHICAGO – May 21, 2009 – Midway Games Inc. today announced that it has entered into a "stalking horse" asset purchase agreement with Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Time Warner, Inc.

Well a few weeks ago the MK community was shocked at the sudden apperance of the sexy cosplay images of Frost that apperared online at the Midway forums, the images were high quality and had professional FX added to the images as well as an awesome costume. I thought it would be nice to interview Gil who took the photos to see if we will be treated to awesome MK cosplay like this in the future...
Hi There!
TMK: Q. Most of the Mortal Kombat fans freaked out when they saw Marie-Claude bourbonnais as Frost....did you expect this kind of reaction?
Gil: I certainly hoped they would but I never expected it and while I am happy they did, the response was really overwhelming....beyond anything I had ever done.
TMK: Q. What made you want to do a photo shoot as a Mortal Kombat Character?
Gil: Well, it was Marie-Claude herself who proposed it, I was just along for the ride! She designed and assembled the outfit herself and did much of the research on the poses. I was envolved at the studio stage with both the photography and special SFX to create a "game type" environement. the original game was very "low detail" in the Back Ground, so it was important to respect the spirit of it.
TMK: Q. Did Marie-Claude Bourbonnais consider other Mortal Kombat characters before choosing Frost?
Gil: Yes she did, I think what motivated her to chose Frost is the fact that she was naturally very similar and that frost was more of an ecclectic caracter which only the true MK fans would know...in fact, many people reffered to the pics as "sub-zero" or "female sub-zero"..... forgive them for they know not what they are talking about!
TMK: Q. Does Marie-Claude Bourbonnais want to do future Mortal Kombat characters, if so got any ideas?
Gil: YES ! she most certainly does... and not all female!! Right now we are researching 3 caracters from the game and should be in the studio within the next 6 months. The massive popularity of Frost was a great experience but it as also set the bar quite high.... we need to be prepared!
TMK: Q. Who are you favorite female Mortal Kombat warriors?
Gil: Well, I ask for all your readers to forgive my overly obvious response.... Kira, Sindel & Mileena... When I research a caracter, I look at the detail and the physical aspects, these gals have a lot of everything.
TMK: Q. Even the Mortal Kombat co-creator (Ed Boon) and Mortal Kombat producer (Hector Sanchez) saw the images, are you flattered?
Gil: Yes, of course, it was a great monent but quite sincerely, it would never have happened if not for the support of webistes like yours and that of your readers. We do this out of passion, there is absolutly no money in it for us, so receieve such a response makes the investment completly worth our while. Your readers, the fans of MK are what this is all about.
TMK: Q. Would you like to say anything to Ed Boon and Hector Sanchez?
Gil: Yeah.... can you sponsor us?! Seriously, I was very happy with their acknoledgement of our work and I hope to meet their expectations with our future works....and if we are truly "deserving" maybe shake their hands at some point!
TMK: Q. Do you play the Mortal Kombat games?
Gil: ok...well, I'm a child of the 80's so I played the arcade version for many many years...at which I totally sucked... I could never get the combo's down, so you can imagine how "far" I would go! I'm sure Midway made some good money with me!!
TMK: Q. Anything you would like to tell us?
Gil: Not to sound sappy but I whish to thank you and your readers for having spread the word about our Frost project, it really opened many doors for us and got us noticed in Asia. It's no secret that in order to produce a costume like the one Marie-Claude did, to have the Cryo-Jets to produce the ice effects and to hire a top level Hair & Makeup team cost us in the Thousands of dollars.... yeps... thousands... so our ONLY return on this is the buzz that comes from seeing the response & from reading the comments and from we do this out of sheer passion and I hope your readers felt it...and I can't wait to share it again with then all....and if it sucks..... well then, you can combo me until I hear..... Finish Him!
TMK: Q. Who made the Frost costume?
Gil: Marie-Claude Bourbonnais designer and created the costume
-VC PROPS made the mask
-Aztec Airbrush created the intricate designs on the outfit
-Catherine Lavoie was instrumental in the SFX Makeup and Hair
and POLYMORPHE supplied the Latex pants.
Voila... BIG team = Big success!!
TMK: Thanks for taking the time to answer some fan questions...we all look forward to seeing future photo shoots! :D
Gil: Thank you for such generous support and be sure that we will Strike again in the near future!
-
I recieved a email from one of my contacts this moring all it says is "JADE - DLC?" The "?" on the email was linked to a render of Jade!! It looks alot like the Kitana render from MK vs DCU just with a few minor changes. I hope she doesn't kick as much ass in MK vs DCU as she did in UMK3! Check out the render below!
